What (who) makes up the GOP "base"?

Certainly the right wingers on here will respond that the 2014 elections "proves" that the majority of Americans are conservative-minded.......But a more poignant question remains: Who really makes up the republican base?

Is it the ever-growing minorities.....blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, Asian, American Indian?

Is it the increasingly vociferous gay and lesbian coalitions?

Is it the overwhelming majority of women voters who have heard ridiculous statements by white, older, male, right wing politicians state that women's abortion rights should be curbed, that rapes do not lead to pregnancies, and that equal work by women does not mean equal pay?

Sure, the conservative base is made up by Evangelical, religious zealots, tea sipping folks who are sometimes for and sometime against "libertarianism," and, of course, the wealthy conglomerates who try to fool the naive that they have common workers' best interests as a priority.

The above right wing base has done exceptionally well in mustering their voters to show up for local and state elections....but, given the poor (and sometime laughable) performance of elected right wingers, what are the real chances of this base EVER securing the WH when the somewhat saner voters show up for national elections?

GOP base is aptly named. Base, very very base. :)

You go into a pure leftist race baiting thread and without a mention of that call Republicans “base.” Oh, and you’re not a Democrat. LOL, yeah

I'm apolitical in US politics. Likud in Israel. As a moderate I make fun of dems and repubs equally.
 
Well, I'm certainly glad that the right wingers on this thread got all of "that" off their chest (or whereever).....and please, don't forget to flush and wash your hands.

BWAHAHAHA

You are the biggest bigot on the forum - you fall in with scumbags like Shitsspeedos, Guano, Asslips, et al.

You're a fucking swastika on the forehead pile of human refuse. You hate whites and Christians, which puts you in bed with the demagogue party.
 
One doesn't need any particular ideology or inclination to be conservative. All that is necessary is to believe everything one sees on TV.
that fits many a liberal too....

Oh really? Even MSNBC isn't really liberal. They are just partisan, corporatist, and somewhat neocon-ish. It's almost more subversive, because it clothes its agenda as if it were liberal. Then again, what passes for "conservatism" these days isn't really conservative, either... but hey....

:wtf:

LOL, the network where the host of the shows make commercials for the Democratic party? The Network with Rachel Dyke Maddow, Ed Trotsky Schultz and Al race pimp Sharpton isn't that liberal? Where Chris Matthews gets a tingle up his leg for the election of Marxists? How far left are you? Can you even walk without falling over?

There are some liberal commentators on some of their shows, but how many hours is Morning Joe on?
